Chapter 1077 Hard-Earned Money
Xie Pinggang did not care at all. Whether or not this noble young master had bad luck had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he remembered that his family and the Meng family did not have a good relationship. When Ms. Lu was still around, they had given gifts to the Meng family. Later, the golden condor was sent back.
If he were a member of the Meng family, he would feel extremely uncomfortable if the golden condor he had obtained was gone!
Xie Qiao did not sympathize with Meng Jifang:
She just felt…
That the Meng family was rich and noble.
Meng Jifang was not a bad person, but he was a little lacking
In fact, he was not young anymore. It was said that there had been news of the engagement several times, but the engagement had all fallen through. No one knew what the reason was.
As soon as the young masters left, the entrance instantly became quiet.
“What gold and silver were they talking about? Don’t fool me. Do you think I’m really stupid?” Xie Pinggang actually said.
Xie Qiao’s face stiffened.
“Eldest Brother, so you’re not stupid?” Xie Qiao chuckled.
Xie Pinggang rolled his eyes at her. “I’m your eldest brother. This brain of mine grew a few years earlier than yours. How can you hide this little trick of yours from me? I saw the wretched faces of those young masters. I didn’t want to talk about you in front of them!”
Xie Qiao looked at him helplessly and said honestly, “Master Mo helped some ghouls before. In order to repay her, the ghouls gave her a treasure chest. But she hasn’t been free recently, so she asked me to go and get it.”
“Treasure chest? How much is it?” Xie Pinggang asked.
“A lot. But Eldest Brother, do you dare steal money from Master?” Xie Qiao smiled.
This was the benefit of having another identity!
“Am I that greedy? I’m just curious.” Xie Pinggang thickened his skin, then he said, “Since Master got you to move the treasure chest, she must have given you a share, right? And you brought Xie Xi with you. It seems that the share given to you is not little. Sister, everyone who sees it has a share. It’s the new year, and the weather is so cold. Your brother doesn’t have any good leather to block the wind!”
“I do have a share. It’s not much.” Xie Qiao also knew that she had to shut him up.
With so much gold, she could take out a small portion and share.
Of course, Xie Pinghuai was an exception. Who asked him not to help out with the labor
work?
Xie Pinggang thought that the master’s treasure chest should have 1,000 taels of silver.
This was the most that the security guards would put in the chest.
The money given to Xie Qiao would definitely not be a large amount. It would be good enough to have 200 taels of silver.
After giving it to him and Xi’er, it was estimated that each person would have 50 taels of silver.
It was not much. It was just a wager.
He was not in a hurry to get the money. He went back to his own courtyard to change his clothes while Xie Qiao went back to her courtyard. Chun Er and Granny Wan were all helping to move the gold from the carriage to the storeroom.
They moved very quickly. It was already dark. After lighting the lamps, they were done moving the things.
Xie Qiao found a few small boxes and came over.
Inside the box for Xie Xi, she placed 50 taels of gold. “This is the new year’s money. It’s also the hard-earned money that you went to dig for treasures with me. Don’t hide the money. After the weather clears, the market outside should be lively. Take this money out and spend it all. Buy some things for yourself.”
She was still young, so she should not stay at home all the time to settle accounts.
She should go shopping and buy some clothes and jewelry to make herself happy.
“It’s too much…” Xie Xi was quite embarrassed.
On the way, she even complained that they had to leave the city that was very far away!
Speaking of which, she did not do much. She just helped dig a few times. Without her, her sister could still find others to dig up thetreasure chest. She used to be an errand girl at the academy. She could also make a few silver or copper coins at a time.
Her eldest sister gave her 50 taels… and it was
gold!
